Amazon does reserve the right to poke around on your Kindle in their terms of service. I believe it would be technically feasible to do if the Kindle were connected, regardless of whether it was registered. They certainly know who it was last registered to.

That said, I've never heard a whisper of them actually doing so. I think it would be dreadful PR if they did. I don't see an upside for them, either. It is not legally up to them to protect copyright if they are not the publisher (and usually they're not). They're better off not knowing if you're infringing or not. It would be a dangerous precedent for them to set if they got involved being copyright snitch.
